Simple Clean Slate Bag

This Simple Clean Slate Bag is exactly what it sounds like—blank and ready for whatever you want to add to it. It really is striking in its simplicity, so you could leave it as it is or spice it up a bit by adding a crochet flower or some buttons. The crochet bag pattern is such an easy project and uses only basic stitches like chains, single, and double. It even has its own handles so that you don't have to go out and buy some to attach. This free crochet pattern offers a nicely sized purse that would be great for a day out to lunch or to the mall.
